Banishing Insects from Luxury Lakeside Lodge
On a luxury lakeside development in the Cotswolds sits a contemporary lodge which was greatly suffering from waterborne insect ingress.
That is until a visit from Phantom Screens to install manual fly screens to the doors and windows across all three floors. Now the property is discreetly, but totally, protected from flying insects, spiders and more.

finding The solution
preventing bug infestation
Finding their dream holiday home in the luscious Cotswolds gave the homeowners a real buzz that stuck with them… until the startling reality of lakeside living hit them. Mosquitoes, daddy longlegs, and all manner of creepy crawlies would flood the property day and night.
This was a huge problem for the homeowners, as this was where they came to relax away from the stress and responsibility of everyday life. They couldn’t bear the thought of insects getting in their personal space and bringing harmful bacteria into their kitchen.
Many lodges on the development, including this one, came with insect screens installed, but they quickly degraded and became ineffective. All of their neighbours had suffered from the same issue. Those who had solved the problem recommended Phantom Screens.
Desperate for a solution, they got in touch with their architect, who contacted Phantom Screens without hesitation, seeking something that would:
- Stop insects getting inside
- Replace stuffy heat indoors with cool fresh air
- Blend in with the home’s design and decor
- Be durable against bugs and changeable weather for years to come
Installation
fast and professional
The Phantom Screens team responded quickly. Well informed of the development from previous projects, we gave expert advice, provided a rough quote, and then conducted a home survey to obtain precise measurements.
Phantom Screens installed 12 pleated insect screens on the doors and bedroom windows at the property. Each screen was manufactured in the UK with high quality materials that would be durable in all weather conditions.
The aluminium was powder coated in RAL 7016, Anthracite Grey satin, to match the existing framework. They were fitted externally with the cassettes recessed into the wall so that the screen is hidden away when not in use.
The Result
discreet insect protection
This stunning lakeside lodge is now fitted top-to-toe with unparalleled insect protection, providing the luxury lifestyle that the homeowners had been dreaming of. The highlights of their new screens are:
- Connecting with the outdoors: Sitting out on their deck day and night can now be fully enjoyed without the worry of insects getting inside.
- No more insects: The screens have kept flies and spiders out of the home for good!
- Retained views: The mesh keeps the beautiful views over the lake completely intact.
- Feeling fresh: The homeowners are happier now the screens allow fresh air in to remove stale stuffy air whilst stopping flies from getting inside.
